Chapter 13: Homecoming & Gathering
Charlene was frantic for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.
In order to break away from the Xia family, she replaced her guardian with Chu Ci, precisely because she only needed another year to be eighteen years old.
At that time, although Chu Ci was a big man for her, she thought that the other party only needed to be a guardian for a year anyway, and she would be an adult after a year, and it would be meaningless to have this guardian at that time.
Moreover, she didn't have a better candidate at the time, so she did it.
However, she didn't expect the plan to catch up with the changes, and before she knew it, she had been in the Chu family for three years.
Come to think of it, it's really fast.
Well, but since she has already become an adult, doesn't she need a guardian?
With this in mind, Charlene asked the question.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, except for the fact that when she first arrived at the Chu family, she took the matter of Chu Ci as her guardian to Qi Tianze, it seems that both she and Chu Ci have almost forgotten about this matter.
Well, anyway, whether they have this nominal identity or not, they get along and use each other just fine.
But anyway, since she is an adult, it's better not to occupy the weird title of "adopted daughter".
Chu Ci looked at Charlene with a doting expression. "According to the latest law promulgated by the Federation one hundred and twenty years ago, the guardian of a female with a genetic level of C or higher has a certain degree of supervision responsibility and ...... for her before she gets married."
The gene level is above C, which is actually in addition to forcibly stimulating the ability gene with a gene potion. And all the women except the "ordinary people" among those who have poor ability genes after stimulation.
The ability gene is already considered to be an excellent Charlene, and it is obviously absolutely 100% listed.
That is, unless she marries. Otherwise, until then, her guardian will always have the right to decide for her something that is closely related to her personal interests.
For example, marriage.
No wonder the Yu family and the Xia family were so fearless at the beginning, and even if it wasn't for her accident, according to the marriage contract of the two families, she and Yu Yang would not get married until she finished her studies.
At that time, she wondered, weren't the two families afraid that she would divorce when she became an adult?
But it turns out that she is waiting for her here!
Thinking that what she was thinking about at the beginning was that she changed her identity and place anyway. No one can find her, who cares about it, the marriage contract that is only a verbal promise, even if it is a contract written in black and white, she is not affected. So he didn't study this aspect of things carefully, so that it wasn't until this moment that he heard this from Chu Ci, and Xia Lin couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
This kind of sudden discovery no matter how bad you are. It's still a sense of congestion full of shortcomings......
How do you break a knee with a slight pain?
Charlene only cares about her own heart. But he completely forgot about the topic that the two were originally discussing. By the way, I also forgot that they were originally discussing the topic of "adulthood", why they weirdly turned into marriage.
That's really ......
With a smile, he glanced at Charlene, who was entangled in his own world, and Chu Ci said that it was not that he hadn't reminded Charlene, but that Charlene herself didn't take it to heart.
Well, I hope she won't be too excited.
Xia Lin returned to the Chu family's mansion all the way, and she had not yet withdrawn from the jealousy and resentment of the evil feudal arranged marriage system. I was told that there was a visitor.
Ahem, okay. She was only "told" in passing.
In fact, the person who the housekeeper told was Chu Ci, and she just happened to be there.
"Who are they?" Hearing that the housekeeper said that the other party was here to visit their brother, it was only because he was not there, so those people went to find the eldest brother, Chu Ci asked casually.
"Well, it's Young Master Lang and Young Master Bu of the Bu family."
"Lang Yuquan?" Chu Ci frowned, "What is he here for?" ”
After a pause, without waiting for the housekeeper to answer, Chu Ci asked again. "That guy has been around a lot all this time?"
The butler cautiously glanced at Chu Ci's gloomy face that could wring out water. "No, no, it's just that the day after you left, Young Master Lang came here once and spent an afternoon in the study with the eldest young master. In the middle, it was probably last week, and Young Master Lang and Young Master Bu came once respectively. Today is the third time, and the first time that these two young masters have come at the same time. ”
As a qualified housekeeper, it is naturally impossible for a housekeeper to be ignorant of the outside world?
In fact, although he knows that there will be no disturbances in Mingyang City, the major events are also very clear.
Lang Yuquan and the priest Bu Ming had a discord on their faces, and he naturally knew about it. Therefore, for the two not only came together, but also seemed to know each other for a long time and even had a good relationship, the housekeeper naturally saw that something was wrong.
The expression on Chu Ci's face was even more ugly.
When did these two come together?
Twisting his eyebrows and thinking about it, Chu Ci remembered it, and seemed to vaguely remember that Xu Shuoyang had mentioned to him that some time ago, the eldest brother was unconscious, and his grandfather was trapped in the military department, and when he was alone in the most difficult time, Lang Yuquan and the priest had met secretly many times.
Was it at that time?
Although he knew that as Charlene's cousin, it was impossible for the priest to do anything unfavorable to the Chu family, at most he was just a cold bystander.
But Lang Yuquan and Chu Ci believed that the other party should not dare to betray his eldest brother.
But these two people are mixed together......
Charlene blinked and looked at Chu Ci curiously. "Yes, does the priest's brother have a good relationship with Lieutenant General Lang?"
Chu Ci was silent, "Probably." ”
Charlene:......
What is the answer to this?
"Are you going to see my eldest brother with me, or do you want to take a rest first?"
Chu Ci said this, but he gave the choice to Xia Lin. However, a certain Cheng dù also did not want Charlene to meet the priest.
However, Charlene didn't realize the subtext of the other party, thinking that she didn't seem to have seen the cousin of the priest for a long time. Xia Lin thought about it, and decided to go with Chu Ci.
"Let's do it together."
Chu:......
I knew that he should have let people go back to rest directly.
"How. Inconvenience? Seeing Chu Ci's strange expression, Xia Lin couldn't help but ask.
"It's not." Chu Ci shook his head and motioned for Charlene to follow him to the land. "Let's go."
At this time, Chu Dian, Lang Yuquan, and Priest Bu had preliminarily discussed some of the next cooperation plans. Although there are still some doubts about the priest, who is Chu Dian?
said that those who supported the bold and starved the cowardly to death were all described by Chu Ci and Lang Yuquan. For Chu Dian. He was confident that no one would dare to play tricks in front of him.
Even if there is, it doesn't matter, he has a way to make the other party regret it. Or even 10 times more to spit out what should be spit out.
Therefore, for taking the initiative to send it to the door, saying that even if it was just for his cousin, he would stand on the side of the Chu family. It's just that he is only a quasi-heir now. In the end, the head of the step family is not him, so there are many things that are inconvenient to stand in line on the surface, and he can only express his sincerity through guò's private cooperation, Chu Dian almost didn't hesitate for long, and decisively accepted the other party's proposal.
Originally, he really didn't care about who the head of the Bu family was. After all, even if they are the same nine hidden families, not all generations can be friendly and good-neighborly and live in harmony.
And unfortunately. The relationship between him and the head of the Bu family's generation is not very good.
But since the other party is the cousin of his future brother-in-law, if the other party is sincere. He doesn't mind having one more ally, does he?
And for Bu Siduo, being able to get the powerful ally of the Chu family will not only help his status in the Bu family, but will also soon become a huge bargaining chip in his hands.
It's the best of both worlds.
The two of them know this, but there is no need to break it.
On the contrary, Lang Yuquan is always frank and open, even when he is working with the priest.
"Speaking of which, does Adian know the few books that have been circulating on the virtual network during this time?" I don't know why, but Lang Yuquan suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but say to Chu Dian.
The expression on Chu Dian's face was slightly subtle, but then quickly returned to normal. "You said that those few books that are almost incomprehensible are said to have been handed down through the ages from the ancestors of the ancestors before the era of Great Nirvana?"
"Ahaha......" Lang Yuquan sneered. Can't even Adian understand it? ”
Anyway, he seems to have found the wrong topic. Originally, he thought that with Adian's cleverness, these things should definitely not be difficult for Adian.
Which bastard fished something out of which shit? It's so difficult, it can't be deliberately made up to sensationalize, right?
Lang Yuquan couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart.
Chu Dian smiled and didn't say a word.
He found someone to send out the things himself, and of course he knew best what was inside. In fact, it's not so much ten books as ten articles.
In real terms, ten articles into one book is completely stress-free. It's just that these ten articles are relatively medium in length in classical Chinese, so when he posted them, he simply treated them as ten books.
Anyway, I can't understand it, right, since I can't understand it, I naturally don't know how to divide them. And this was originally an excerpt from ten books, wasn't it?
So ten books or something, it's normal, it's correct.
But if he doesn't understand the content at all, it's not true.
After all, although he does not have the same memories of his past life as Chu Ci and Charlene, there are many books in the books that Charlene handed him that specialize in the analysis and interpretation of the words in this kind of book called "classical Chinese".
This is also known as a dictionary. However, it was not a Chinese dictionary that was commonly used by people at that time, but a special dictionary for classical Chinese.
Well, listening to Charlene, it seems that she is still teaching auxiliary books.
Moreover, even without this basic dictionary, most of these books themselves are accompanied by annotations and vernacular translations.
It is conceivable that in the era of the two of them, these books were not understandable to everyone.
However, Chu Dian deliberately only let people post only the original part on the virtual network, but there was no comment, let alone analysis.
In fact, in the past 2,000 years in the history of the Federation, this type of book has certainly not been unfounded. However, due to the limited material of the books themselves, and the fact that such books did not seem to have been particularly widely circulated in their time, most people usually had some popular vernacular novels, essays, magazines and the like.
Even some textbooks are more widespread than this ancient culture.
So it's the first time that Chu Dian has posted ten ancient texts on the Internet in one go. Moreover, the high reward for translating the content of these ten articles has attracted the attention of the public.
The most important thing is that he has not only posted it on relevant academic websites, but has posted one such reward on major websites.
This made the ten articles that should have caused a sensation only in a small area and not many people cared about in the general direction, but at the moment, most people are hot-headed, thinking about Jindan, interstellar warfare, military exploits, and rights...... When I thought about it, it was weirdly on fire!
Whether it is grandstanding or eye-catching, no matter what, Chu Dian is very satisfied with the effect of this first stage.
What makes Chu Dian even more satisfied is that although the information he released in some other places is not as sensational as these ten books, it has indeed been noticed and recognized, and even has the intention of worship. Especially those novels that he originally posted on the Internet only because of Charlene's sworn guarantee, it is said that there are already a large number of loyal readers urging them to be updated every day.
At this point, Chu Dian didn't know whether to be excited or cry or laugh. Is it really as Charlene said, no matter when, only YY is truly borderless, no time difference or even no space difference?
That's really ...... Quite a novel experience.
Seeing that Lang Yuquan seemed to have resentment and dissatisfaction with those ten books because of his few words, Chu Dian squinted his eyes slightly and smiled a little dangerously.
"Ah, I didn't tell you, this is a book that I looked for someone to put up."
Step Priest: ???
Lang Yuquan: Σ(°△°|||) ︴
What happened?
Well, he's really hallucinating, hahaha...... He actually heard Adian say that the ten black and red books on the Internet were put on by Adian, and he planned to put more of these articles in the future......
How is this possible......
"What, don't believe me?" Chu Dian smiled warmly, but because of Chu Dian's relationship, although he didn't have much contact with Chu Ci, in fact, Lang Yuquan, who was already very familiar with the other party, knew very clearly that this was a precursor to Chu Dian's rectification.
"No, no, no, no, I believe." Lang Yuquan shook his head again and again. "I believe whatever Dian says." (To be continued......)
